A 64-GB Hard Drive the Size of a Stamp

A new hard drive on a chip portends reduced weight and size in portable PCs.In the not too distant technological past, a computer’s storage drives filled a space not much smaller than my living room. The new 64-gigabyte solid-state drive from SanDisk is the size of a postage stamp.

The size of the new chip is only 18 by 20 millimeters, less than two mm thick, and weighing less than a gram. The iSSD products have been made available to manufacturing clients for evaluation, SanDisk said. Storage capacities, while limited now to 64 gigs—not nearly enough for fully functional laptops—will increase in time.

SanDisk is among the chief makers worldwide of flash memory modules. It has not set a price as yet on the new gear.

BRABUS iBusiness Is an Apple Fan’s Dream Mobile Office

The iBusiness is most definitely “the business.” The German-engineered, four-seater luxury sedan is the type of car for people who have drivers, and that’s a very good thing, because there’s no chance you’ll be paying much attention to the road in one of these babies unless you’re being paid to.

Each car comes packed to the gills with outstanding multimedia capabilities, including two iPads in the rear seats with matching Bluetooth keyboards for each. The iPads are capable of controlling every aspect of the S600′s COMAND system, including the radio, navigation system and telephone, in addition to BRABUS’ own custom multimedia functions. Don’t think you’ll be limited to offline or 3G use, either, because the car boasts its own wireless internet via UMTS and HSDPA connections.

Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft

Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft

joshgnosis writes "When hackers crash Windows in the course of developing malware, they'll often accidentally agree to send the virus code straight to Microsoft, according to senior security architect Rocky Heckman. 'It's amazing how much stuff we get.' Heckman also said Microsoft was a common target for people testing their attacks. 'The first thing [script kiddies] do is fire off all these attacks at Microsoft.com. On average we get attacked between 7000 and 9000 times per second.'" Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Google Voice - Google Talk - Google Search

Yesterday's most exciting news was Google's introduction of free voice calls to Gmail. In a nutshell, if you have a Gmail account, you can now make free calls from your computer to real landlines and cellphones in North America. You can also call the rest of the world for peanuts, with many countries costing only 2 cents a minute.

The announcement is significant for a number of reasons. For one, it's direct competition for Skype, which was already pretty direct competition to landline and cellphone companies. Skype has made calling virtually free - I currently pay about $35 a year for unlimited calls within North America through its SkypeOut service, which is obviously a fraction of what phone companies charge.

In the U.S., the computer-based Gmail service works nicely with Google Voice, which is another free calling service that lets smartphone owners use their data plan rather than their voice plan to make calls. In other words, you don't actually need a voice plan to make phone calls with Google Voice; just the data connection will do. And while the Gmail service is currently shackled to the computer, there's no realistic reason why it'll stay that way.

Here's why Google will beat Skype and every other phone company: to those other companies, it's still about phone calls and figuring out how to make money from them. But, because the actual cost of making a call over the internet is almost zero, Google can afford to swallow this rather incidental cost as a future investment toward its real business: search.

iPhones vs Android: the 100K Phone Gap

... 3 million as of last Friday. Friday was July 16th. The iPhone 4 launched on June 24, so that'd be 23 days to reach the 3 million mark.

"3 million phones in 23 days - that's a pretty strong clip, the fastest sales of an Apple phone to date, Mashable reports. If I do the math, that's more than 130,000 phones a day."

But did anyone in the press notice Google's little announcement, the day before Apple launched its iPhone 4? This one? The one where Google said, and I quote:

"Every day 160,000 Android-powered devices are activated -- that’s nearly two devices every second."

Wind Mobile Always Shout Plan and Review

Hi Guys,

Wind Mobile has a $150 Porting Credit promotion going on till August 15th (see www.windmobile.ca ).

 

Check out Wind's $45/month, all-inclusive "Always Shout" plan, which includes voicemail, caller ID, unlimited incoming and outgoing text messaging to all Canadian and U.S. numbers, as well as unlimited Canada-wide calling to any Canadian number from any of the 5 major regions, including the GTA, greater Vancouver region, Ottawa region, Calgary, and Edmonton region. This means when I travel to Ottawa or Vancouver, I can use my cell phone freely with unlimited airtime minutes as if I were at home. --Finally we have something close to what U.S. consumers have been enjoying for years ($30/month plans with free long distance and free roaming across all 50 states)!

 

Reading some consumer reviews of Rogers, Bell, Fido and Wind, ... found that Wind actually has the highest average rating by consumers:

 

1) Rogers: average rating 4.2 out of 10, by 189 reviews, see http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-plans/carriers/rogers/ 

 

2) Fido: average rating 4.1/10 by 133 reviews, http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-plans/carriers/fido/ 

 

3) Bell: average rating 3.7/10 by 145 reviews, http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-plans/carriers/bell/ 

 

4) Wind: average rating 4.6/10 by 51 reviews so far, http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-plans/carriers/wind/ 

(Being so new to the Canadian market, Wind is already rated higher than Rogers, Fido and Bell so far. As Wind Mobile continutes to build more cell phone towers every week, reception will get better and better, and the average rating is likely to get even higher).

 

Cheers,

 

Bo
